Great video showing the growth in activities being done offshore by Rope Access Trained (RAT) guys. Huge amount of training and planning goes into these activities to make them as safe as they can be, but always an element of risk involved. Transferring that TEMPSC (Lifeboat) would have taken weeks or months of pre-planning before proceeding. Well done to all the men and women working off ropes!
Cool vid, Sir. Lots of different clips, I like how you mixed/juggled it up. First guy on lines was “jugging”, as I understand it from reading about mountain climbing. The later abseiling clips, more work involved than just getting down, with handling other work lines for the job. I worked on big land rigs in Alberta and BC, and can only imagine the HR screening for every position on that platform. No screamers etc. allowed. Saw the flare at ~5:00, wondered if that was venting a kick or was part of normal platform operations. Is this a gas field? If you miss your sea legs, I recommend trying out skateboarding. I have never had more than half day ferry rides, but have rolled on (and fallen off) shortboard cruisers for 15+ years now. I am guessing that in being able to balance, there is a physiological same program in use. I don’t know if sailors learn to fall, but learning how best to fall is useful even cruising on a board. I had a solid decade of falling off in-line skates (rockered like hockey skates, bigger two wheels in the middle) before switching. You have lots of room for a skatepark there, I have seen on your home chan. As far as falling, you would get so much street cred with guest/paying kid-skaters and with skaters all over the world, you turn up to work all beat up! ~8D Then franchise that thing. I’ll be your business partner, and I’ll drop in too. ~8O
The flare at 05:00 was being lit. If you look closely you can see a white flare heading into the gas to ignite it. In 40 years at sea I have never lost my footing but I learn to fall when I did a bit of parachute training a few years ago 😂
@@Bigwavemaster1 the square section ducting looked like HVAC duct to me. Again, great work by the team handling large sections into place! And to the stand by vessel crew keeping an eye on the team while they were working overside.
are you on standby in case someone falls in the water and need rescuing? i was just thinking that and thought well you are on a erv and you offer a service to the rigs. great videos too. you mainly work for NorthStar shipping on the Grampian erv"s i recall in videos from years ago you was on a older Grampian ??? vessel and i recall it had a fire monitor on the super structure, just cant think of the name of her.
This gives me anxiety just to watch what theses guys do on a daily basis. Thanks guys for all you do.
I couldn’t do it myself.

They were going to change out a TEMPSC they year before but, by the time they’d missed the weather window 😂😂

TARZAN....
Thanks for the video...I really don't know how they do it...😁🤷♀
Me neither 😂
Young guys big balls big bucks. I wonder what they do for recreation.
What are all those big ducts for
I think they are exhaust for all the machinery.

Yes. We are the ERRV. The old vessel you were thinking about was the Grampian Protector.

They look like cute little ants crawling around on that insanely massive thing.
I suppose they do 😂
What did you do there?inspection?
Taking photos of work carried out on a new flare boom
Quite the ordeal to get in the life boats. Seems there should be an easier way.
They’re working on it 😂😂
Oh hell no!
I bet the view was good.
